I’m running for First Year Representative for UCL BJJ. I hope to help develop the UCL BJJ community and enable it to continue being a safe and fun way for people to access the gentle art. With nearly 1 year of BJJ experience (both in Gi and in No Gi), I still have a long way to go with my BJJ journey but I know first hand how rewarding and challenging it is.

Over my time as First Year Representative, I wish to accomplish the following:

• Develop more opportunities for beginners to get into the sport with UCLBJJ
• Bring forward more beginner friendly competitions
• Act as a voice for all those new to the society and the club as an avenue for feedback and improvement of the society.

I hope to bring my skillsets from the past to help enable me in my role, with my time as sprint squad captain in my previous school guiding me in how to develop people through sport and how to create welcoming training environments. Furthermore, I had led many large teams for volunteering projects in Singapore, which allowed me to balance the perspectives of many people and constantly meet the needs of my team to ensure the best experience for them. I hope to bring these skills forward to UCLBJJ to further strength and grow this wonderful community.
